If the distributor has been turned may have altered timing. If all the.marks line up easiest way to do it is with a timing light.

Dirty fuel shouldn't be too much of an an issue unless it has blocked the carb up.

Have you tried blowing down the carb fuel in pipe yet?

It's a timing issue then. Just a case of have someone turn it over while you turn the dizzy till it fire.

If it fires with the dizzy all the way to one side might be an to check the timing belt markings are all set correct and if they are pull the dizzy out and rotate it a tooth.

Yeah, certainly sounds like it's just a spark timing issue. Get yourself an extra pair of hands and have a play.
